Source: NCBI Gene (ID 6523)
Symbol: SLC5A1
Full name: solute carrier family 5 member 1
Gene type: protein coding
RefSeq status: REVIEWED
Organism: Homo sapiens
Also known as: D22S675; NAGT; SGLT-1; SGLT1
Summary: This gene encodes a member of the sodium-dependent glucose transporter (SGLT) family. The encoded integral membrane protein is the primary mediator of dietary glucose and galactose uptake from the intestinal lumen. Mutations in this gene have been associated with glucose-galactose malabsorption. Multiple transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene.
